Our Sod Installation Process
1
Soil sampling & Consultation
The first step begins with a conversation about what your needs are. From here we schedule a site visit, where we'll then take measurements of your lawn, and take soil samples. We tailor a specific lawn solution based off our report, and send you a quote.
2 Lawn Stripping
We remove the surface layer of vegetation on your lawn. The tools we use depends upon your lawns overall accessibility.
​
3 Soil Removal
We remove the undesirable soil down to the agreed upon depth. The depth generally ranges between 2-4 inches. We will haul the materials to our dumpsite.
4 Fresh Soil
We add our special, high quality, lawn grade soil that has been mixed with optimal amounts of bio-matter. The soil is correctly selected and matched to your lawn's specific needs. We generally add between 2-6 inches of fresh soil.
5 Grading & Raking
We level off the lawn to the agreed upon specifications. We will fill in any ruts, holes or gaps which may be present in your lawn. We do a preliminary hand-till in order to allow the freshly laid sod to more easily root itself into your new and improved lawn.
